Here we have market level reports showing total Nissan Motor Company sales in key global automotive markets. The company sells its vehicles under the Nissan and Infiniti brands, and formerly the Datsun brand, with in-house performance tuning products (including cars) under the Nismo and Autech brands. The company traces back to the beginnings of the 20th century, with the Nissan zaibatsu, now called Nissan Group. Nissan is the world’s sixth-largest automaker based on 2022 vehicle production. The company’s vehicles are sold in over 180 countries around the world.
Over the years, Nissan has become one of the significant players in the U.S. automotive market, with a wide range of offerings from compact cars to trucks and SUVs. Vehicles like the Nissan Altima, Rogue, and Sentra have been key drivers of Nissan’s sales in the U.S., targeting the mainstream sedan and SUV segments. The Nissan Titan and Frontier have aimed to carve out a niche in the highly competitive U.S. pickup truck market, although they haven’t matched the sales volumes of domestic competitors like Ford and GM. The Nissan Leaf was one of the first mass-market electric vehicles and has been a notable part of Nissan’s U.S. lineup, although it faces growing competition from other electric offerings. Nissan’s performance models have a strong following.
Infiniti has positioned itself as a luxury brand, competing with the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus. However, it has faced challenges in gaining significant market share. Infiniti models like the QX60 and QX80 have found a following among U.S. consumers, aligning with the country’s preference for larger vehicles.
